A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the layout symmetrical and avoid vias under the component. Use a 50-ohm microstrip transmission line for the output stage.
Apply a voltage of 3.3V to 5V to the VCC pin, and ensure the input voltage (VIN) is within the recommended range. Use a 10uF capacitor between VCC and GND, and a 100nF capacitor between VIN and GND for decoupling.
The maximum operating frequency is 6 GHz, but it's recommended to operate at frequencies below 4 GHz for optimal performance and to minimize power consumption.
Use a thermal pad or a heat sink to dissipate heat. Ensure good airflow around the component, and avoid blocking the thermal pad. The maximum junction temperature is 150°C.
The recommended input impedance is 50 ohms, and the recommended output impedance is 50 ohms for optimal power transfer and minimal reflections.
